Refining Sound is a practical roadmap to the complexities of
creating sounds on modern synthesizers. As author, veteran
synthesizer instructor Brian K. Shepard draws on his years of
experience in synthesizer pedagogy in order to peel back the
often-mysterious layers of sound synthesis one-by-one. The result
is a book which allows readers to familiarize themselves with each
individual step in the synthesis process, in turn empowering them
in their own creative or experimental work. The book follows the
stages of synthesis in chronological progression, starting readers
at the raw materials of sound creation and ultimately bringing them
to the final "polishing" stage. Each chapter focuses on a
particular aspect of the synthesis process, culminating in a last
chapter that brings everything together as the reader creates
his/her own complex sounds. Throughout the text, the material is
supported by copious examples and illustrations as well as by audio
files and synthesis demonstrations on a related companion website.
Each chapter contains easily digestible guided projects (entitled
"Your Turn" sections) that focus on the topics of the corresponding
chapter. In addition to this, one complete project will be carried
through each chapter of the book cumulatively, allowing the reader
to follow - and build - a sound from start to finish. The final
chapter includes several sound creation projects in which readers
are given types of sound to create as well as some suggestions and
tips, with final outcomes is left to readers' own creativity.
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of learning to create sounds on a
synthesizer is to understand exactly what each synthesizer
component does independent of the synthesizer's numerous other
components. Not only does this book thoroughly illustrate and
explain these individual components, but it also offers numerous
practical demonstrations and exercises that allow the reader to
experiment with and understand these elements without the
distraction of the other controls and modifiers. Refining Sound is
essential for all electronic musicians from amateur to professional
levels of accomplishment, students, teachers, libraries, and anyone
interested in creating sounds on a synthesizer.
